Michael L Cortner Express Roofing

Michael L. Cortner Express Roofing does one thing: it strips the old roof off a house and puts a new one on. The permit trail out of Westford is residential strip-and-reroof work throughout, with a typical job running about $8,000 — two of them in Methuen, on Jade Street and Butternut Lane. The volume is steady rather than occasional. BuildZoom's activity breakdown counts 105 permits over the past three years and 93 roofing projects over four. Skylights are the one line of work listed beside the roofing. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration for the business, #185252, with Michael Cortner as owner at 16 Jonas Rd. For a straightforward asphalt reroof around Westford and the Merrimack Valley, this is a shop that does little else — confirm the registration on the state register, get the warranty on both material and workmanship in writing, and settle up front what happens if the deck under the shingles turns out to be rotted.
